Project #1 Old Work/ New Ideas

Old Work

      This is a bit more of an unconventional example of a past work. A few years ago I made this dress on my own from scratch. I was greatly influenced by the light and feminine gowns by Marchesa and sought to bring in elements from the designer into my own work. It was made from yards and yards of tulle covered in a printed silk chiffon. The bodice had a very thin, gauzy netting that covered the shoulders that was barely noticeable and shimmery in the light. I continue to sew regularly and I would like to bring the same sort of delicacy/aesthetic quality into my future works.

New Ideas

     This is an illustration titled "Sipi Sipi" by the Malaysian artist kidchan. I would like to bring some of the elegance she brings into her works into mine as well. Her use of colors and line are enchanting as well as the different textures she brings to each of her pieces. All of her works are done in Photoshop which is just astonishing to me. I am trying to learn how to draw digitally, so I look up to her as an artist.
